"Kumiko is great for anything romantic, including an early-in-the-game date, anniversary, or when there’s an important question burning a hole in your pocket. The gorgeous main bar casts a moody glow over the space and has lots of small seafood bites and unique cocktails. They also have Kikkō, an eight-seat basement omakase bar, but much like you and your college ex who studied abroad, it’s currently on hiatus." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
